My 407 had so many bells and whistles that half of them I stumbled upon by accident. It was a good thing the voice recognition feature did not have a learning mode, because whenever I woke it up by mistake and it squawked at me, I would exclaim "oh bugger!" It would then politely inform me that it did not understand my request. We would fall about laughing, like kids, every time.

So, this is no doubt something that everyone else already knew, but I have literally just accidentally found out;

If you have a route programmed in the Sat Nav, if you press the button on the end of the lights stalk (the one you use to turn auto lights on & off) the Sat Nav reads out the last instruction.

This discovery is almost on a par as the day I found the ashtray

I always wondered what does that button do

Also, some buttons on RT6 have secondary function when you long press them. For example if you long press "mode" button, pop up screen turns off. Long pressing "music/radio" button brings up sound adjustment menu. I guess these are not so secret features but still maybe some didn't know about them

Well I've had Z's for three years and have only just found out about the mode one, at first I thought I'd killed it !!

As you say there seems to be a few you can do push and hold for quick access to some features.....

Can anyone tell me which button do you press for AutoPilot ???

On that......

I see a guy has just been banned for ten months for using AutoPilot in his Tesla - he was sat with his hands behind his head in the passenger seat ?!?!

I get in the back when on Cruise Control in the 5008 on the A66 heading South. [just kidding ]

Clarkson's thoughts on driverless cars made me chuckle:

”You drive one of your driverless cars over the Death Road in Bolivia and I’ll buy one. Sit there with your hands folded and let it drive you up there, then squeeze past a lorry with half the tyre hanging over a 1,000ft drop while the car drives itself. Fine, I’ll buy into it.”
